-(ref:pars) All of the parameters that are included in the model. Many of these parameters (e.g. `swindow` and `pwindow`) are the so called latent variables in the model, and have lengths corresponding to the `sample_size`. We extracted the model parameters using `brms::variables()` and removed the indices.

 The `epidist` package also provides functions to make common post-processing tasks easy.
 For example, individual predictions of the lognormal delay parameters can be extracted using:
